Description

I created a dump file from CVS on a linux machine "cvs2svn --dump-only
/home/cvsrepos/TestCVS". I also tried "--encoding=utf-8" with the same result.
Then I imported that dump file on a windows machine with subversion
(version 0.34). The svnadmin load works OK, but it corrupts the
swedish characters in the filename. If I later browse the repository
via http, it works and I can look at the file but the filename looks
like shit. The command line svn tool on the other hand can't handle
these filenames in any way, so I can't rename or delete them in the
repository.

When i write "svn list http://localhost/svn/TestCVS/trunk", the svn
client says:
svn: Invalid argument
svn: Safe data:
"TestFileWith"
... was followed by non-ascii byte 229.

Non-ascii character detected (see above), and unable to convert
to/from UTF-8.


I created a really small dump file from a CVS repos with just one file
(with my swedish characters), if some of you want to recreate the
problem. The file (as well as the RCS file) is pasted below.
 
Thanks for a really great product!

David
